Publications 2012 and earlier Perhaps the most important paper of all is the 2011 systematic review with Douglas Gray asking the question “are multimedia resources effective for student learning in bioscience education”. The answer was yes, in some areas, but with the huge caveat that there is an abundance of edu-research out there, but most papers had to be discounted because of poor quality and poor method design (which is part of the systematic process to evaluate).

Two of the most enjoyable publications – the first working with Professor Yash Mahida’s group at Nottingham which was a review on host-bacterial interactions, and the second writing a review for the Cochrane Organisation. This started my love affair with systematic reviews.

Next comes my “poo” phase, researching intestinal physiology in dogs and cats. Most of the research on the biological effects of functional foods and phytochemical was not publishable to protect the intellectual property (although some data is available in patent form). This bunch reflects some of the pure research linking gut transit, absorption and faecal consistency. All vital stuff for any dog owner.
